Here are the advantages of selling your home during this festive season.
As we approach the festive season, it's wonderful to connect with our past clients, customers, and sphere of influence. This holiday, I'd like to share 11 compelling reasons to consider listing your home during this time:
1. More serious buyers. Individuals searching for homes during the holidays tend to be more serious buyers. With fewer homes available, this reduced competition often translates to a better price for your property upon sale.
2. Less competition. The supply of listings typically surges in January, leading to decreased demand for your home.
3. Your home will sell for less if you wait until spring. More homes are expected to hit the market in spring, which means more competition for sellers. If you wait too long, you may have to sell your home for less to stay competitive.
4. Decorated homes. During the holidays, homes are decorated and typically show better.
5. More emotional buyers. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, leading them to be more inclined to meet your asking price.
"Selling high now and buying low when more houses are available can be an advantageous strategy."
6. More time for house hunting. Compared to the regular work year, most buyers have more time to shop for a home during the holidays.
7. Buying for tax purposes. Some buyers are motivated to purchase before year-end due to tax considerations.
8. New jobs. January tends to be a month when employees embark on new jobs. As transferees seek new homes, waiting until spring may not be feasible for them, emphasizing the importance of listing your home now to capture this market.
9. Restricted showings. During the holidays, you have the flexibility to limit showings for a few days to align with your schedule or preferences.
10. More money. Selling now might enable you to negotiate a delayed closing or extended occupancy into the following year if needed.
11. Non-contingent buyer. One significant advantage of selling during this period is the potential to become a non-contingent buyer in the spring market. Selling high now and buying low when more houses are available can be an advantageous strategy.
